Chapter 169: Li's Calculations
"Mr. Yuan praised falsely, Yi An has not been taught by his master since he was a child, and he has no calligraphy to copy, he is not afraid of Mr. Yuan's jokes, the only imitation of Yi An's practice is the epitaph engraved on the tombstone of the tomb outside the city, as well as the handwriting copied in the book.
It is not written into a faction, and it is scribbled, which makes Mr. Yuan laugh. It's just that this painting is dirty, so I'll rewrite it for Mr. Yuan another day. ”
"Self-study comprehension can write so beautifully, Zhang Gongzi is really a genius, let me wait for people who have been studying hard since childhood to achieve a little success, I am deeply ashamed.
A character has the charm and artistic conception of a word, although this character is flawed, but it does not prevent it from becoming a unique calligraphy treasure in the world.
I took this painting for twenty taels of silver. ”
"Twenty taels of silver, this is too much, if Mr. Yuan likes it, it is better to give it to Mr., Yi An resolutely cannot accept the money."
"Hey, I love to collect all kinds of calligraphy and painting all my life, although art is priceless, but it can't be cheaper than Zhang Gongzi.
This twenty taels is already a very low price, Zhang Gongzi can give me love for twenty taels, I can be regarded as a big bargain. ”
Mr. Yuan's move flattered Zhang Yi'an's mother and son, and they hurriedly thanked them and bowed frequently.
Gu Shun couldn't help but be a little curious about his unique vision when he saw that this prince who was disguised as Mr. Cheng Yuan was still beating his subordinate Zhang Yi'an under the pretense of buying words.
He has the ability to read minds, even if he looks like him, it is difficult to escape Gu Shun's eyes, so it is normal to see people.
I didn't expect this prince of Daqi to have such a sense of knowledge.
It seems that there are still a few capable people in the dim-witted Great Qi court.
It's just that Zhang Yi'an is the first person he values, and Gu Shun will not let this prince abduct people easily no matter what.
This prince paid a private visit, went south to Jiangnan, and came to find his father, I don't know what the two will talk about.
The appearance of such a virtuous prince in the imperial court, I don't know what unexpected variables will be played on the political situation in the Great Qi court, and even my father's plan to revive the Han family.
With the help of Gu Shun and Mr. Yuan, the four of them cleaned up the messy room together.
Looking at the broken cups swept together, the loom that could not be repaired and the coarse cloth that was half-woven, which was infused with the efforts of countless mothers, Zhang Yi'an's chest was stuffy, and a breath of resentment and helplessness accumulated in his body, which made him breathless.
During this period, Mr. Gu Shun and Mr. Yuan had a deeper understanding of Zhang Yi'an's shabby residence, and they were shocked.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi'an, who was extremely decent and elegant in speech and demeanor, lived in such a tight and closed place in the Zhang family.
Although Zhang's mother has a bad background, she has cultivated such an excellent son, which is also gratifying.
Gu Shun looked at the copper lamp plate on the table that was broken in half, and in the mottled and rusty lamp plate, a piece of rushgrass that had been completely carbonized was firmly glued to the copper wall, and the oil used in the lamp was all fat oil full of dregs.
The light provided by this thing was very erratic, and when it burned, it produced a pungent smell and smoke, but this lamp was the only source of light in the room.
It is hard to imagine that Zhang Yi'an uses this copper lamp to read and write every day.
Now the bronze lamp discs, broken in half, are stacked on top of each other, and the little residual oil that is left is faintly illuminated into the room.
Fortunately, this very poor quality lamp oil was used in the lamp, and it went out with a slight drop.
Otherwise, the lamp plate will be overturned, and the ground will be full of debris, and the lamp oil will definitely ignite these debris, and this house may also turn into a sea of fire, and Zhang Yi'an's mother and son will not even have a place to live at that time.
Gu Shun couldn't help but sigh and turned his head to look at Zhang Yi'an.
I saw him rummaging through the cabinet with a worried expression, and soon after that, he stood up in a daze, came to Gu Shun and suddenly knelt on the ground and said:
"Brother Zhou, Yi An hopes that you don't tell Young Master Gu about this, this is a little money that Yi An has saved over the years, if Brother Zhou doesn't dislike it, just accept it.
The ten taels of gold that Young Master Gu gave me, Yi An will definitely try his best to get it back to him in the future, and I will go and make an IOU. ”
"Zhang Gongzi, what are you doing, how can I ask for your money.
That gold was originally given to Gongzi by the young shopkeeper of my family, and I don't need to return it to Gongzi Zhang.
Zhang Gongzi rest assured, Zhang Gongzi and my young shopkeeper are friends, I can't watch Zhang Gongzi being bullied, there is such a murderous thing in the Zhang family, looking down on Zhang Gongzi, that is, looking down on our young shopkeeper, I will definitely seek justice for Gongzi. Gu Shunyi said solemnly.
Hearing Gu Shun's generous statement, Zhang Yi'an felt more and more that he owed Gu Shun more and more kindness, so he still insisted on sitting at the table, writing an IOU with a pen dipped in ink, and stuffing it into Gu Shun's hand.
"Yi An is not a person who is greedy for money and takes advantage of it, Young Master Gu has taken enough care of Yi An, Yi An doesn't want to trouble Young Master Gu anymore, let alone ask for money that Young Master Gu gave for no reason."
Gu Shun said unjustly for Zhang Yi'an: "Even if it is repaid, the money does not need to be repaid by Young Master Zhang." Someone in the Zhang family smashed Zhang Gongzi's house like this openly, and robbed the gold given by the young shopkeeper, is there still a royal road, is there still a heavenly reason, doesn't the head of the Zhang family care about this matter.
Mrs. Zhang, please tell me who did it, and I'll help you reason. ”
"How can this work, I know that you two are good people, but I beg the two nobles, forget about this matter, if there is trouble, I am afraid that I will also involve you, and then our mother and mother will not even have this place to stand in Zhangfu." Mother Zhang took Gu Shun's hand and begged.
This is the sorrow of the big family, and sometimes it is a sin to even live in the eyes of others.
Gu Shun knew through mind reading that this matter was the Zhang family's wife Li, who secretly sent someone to do it, she never looked down on Zhang Yi'an's mother and son from beginning to end, a slave-born concubine, destined to be at the bottom of the family.
Especially recently, Zhang Yi'an has been getting closer and closer to him, and he has caught up with the high branch of the Gu family, which makes the Li family feel a huge threat and pressure.
In case Yi'an was valued by Zhang Peien because of his good relationship with Gu Shun, he gained power, or his status in the Zhang family was improved.
Although it will not affect her identity, her own son's status will be threatened, and the family property will naturally be less in the future.
Zhang Yiwei, the sister-in-law of the Zhang family, is not highly talented and unmotivated, and he completely relies on his status and identity in exchange for his current achievement.
In order for her son to inherit the position of the head of the Zhang family smoothly in the future, and even marry the Gu family's inheritance, she, as a mother, must pave the way for it and eradicate all threats that may hinder her son.
The reason why the mother and son are looking for the mother and son at two ends in three days is to see that they are easy to bully and can scavenge some oil and water from them.
The most important thing is to force them away, or make them resist unbearably, so as to frame the innocence of the two and drive them out of the house.
Completely lose the possibility of competing for the head of the Zhang family and inheriting the Zhang family's industry.
After understanding this, Gu Shun's fists hardened.
This Li family is not a good thing, and the Zhang family, who is full of cleverness, advocates Peien, it is impossible not to be ignorant of all this, for so many years, he has always ignored it, and turned a blind eye to the situation of the mother and son, let alone a good thing.
That Zhang Peien thought all day long about relying on the marriage of the Gu family and the Zhang family to gradually control the Gu family.
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, not to mention the intricacies of the Gu family's internal martial arts and demon sect forces on the surface, he wants to swallow the Gu family as a small family head, it is simply a fool's dream.
He actually hit the abacus on Gu Shun's head, how could Gu Shun let him get his wish easily.
Looking at the situation of Zhang Yi'an's mother and son, Gu Shun thought about it, and a good show of killing two birds with one stone gradually brewed in his heart.
